§ 95% confidence interval.

In 1997 and 2007, the percentage of adults aged
>25 years who reported regular leisure-time physical activity increased
with level of education. In 2007, persons with a college degree or more were nearly three times as likely to report regular
leisure-time physical activity (43.4%) as those who did not complete high school (14.9%). However, regardless of education
level, from 1997 to 2007 no progress was made toward meeting the
Healthy People 2010 target of 50% of persons reporting
regular leisure-time physical activity (objective 22-2).
